  • Patent number: 8873232
    Abstract: A supporting frame is used to mount a hard disk drive to a storage rack. The storage rack forms two protrusions protruding inwards from opposite sides of the storage rack. The supporting frame includes a handle and two side brackets resiliently connected to the handle. The side brackets are fixedly attached to opposite sides of the hard disk drive. The handle defines two locking holes. The protrusions of the storage rack are respectively engaged in the locking holes. When the handle is moved away from the hard disk drive, the handle is deformed to disengage the protrusions of the storage rack from the locking holes of the handle.

  • Patent number: 8279653
    Abstract: A magnetic shift register memory in stack structure includes magnetic shift registering layers for forming an unit of stack structure. Each registering layer has multiple magnetic domains and each domain has a magnetization direction corresponding to a stored data. The two adjacent magnetic shift registering layers respectively have an upper magnetic domain and a lower magnetic domain forming a coupling region. By a coupling structure, the lower magnetic domain and the upper magnetic domain have the same stored data. A driving current unit is coupled to the magnetic shift registering layers for respectively providing a driving current in a predetermined direction to the magnetic shift registering layers. As a result, the stored data in the magnetic domains of the magnetic shift registering layers is shifted in a direction from a foremost registering layer to a last registering layer of the magnetic shift registering layers via the coupling structure.

  • Patent number: 7435355
    Abstract: A liquid-based gravity-driven etching-stop technique for controlling structure dimension is provided, where opposite etching trenches in cooperation with an etching-stop solution are used for controlling the dimension of a microstructure on the wafer level. In an embodiment, opposite trenches surrounding the microstructure are respectively etched on sides of the wafer, and the trench depth on the side of the wafer, on which the microstructure is, is equal to the design dimension of the microstructure. Contrarily, it is unnecessary to define the trench depth on the back-side of the chip. In the final step of the fabrication process, when the device is etched, such that the trenches on the sides communicate with each other to separate the microstructure from the whole wafer automatically and thereby shift from the etchant into the etching-stop solution to stop etching.
